You probably know, Migraines are a CHRONIC condition. You didn’t just catch migraine for a week (like a strep throat). This is why this title and its physician companion book is so important in that it puts the focus on what you can do to “Manage” your migraine–so that it doesn’t control you. When you have any chronic condition it is important that you do things on a daily basis to care for your condition. Medical studies also show that the more a patient learns about their condition the better they do. So simply put Knowledge is power-What you Know, You can Master!!!
It is best to think of Migraine as a sensitive nervous system that doesn’t manage change well. The best treatments are directed at strengthening the underlying irritable nervous system so that it becomes stable, produces fewer episodes of disabling pain, and moves towards healing.
For the first time leading headache doctors have collaborated in producing a title on Migraine headaches in two volumes; one for the doctor and one for the patient. Drs Cady, Farmer, Lipton, and Bigal have proposed a system for migraine (based on frequency of attacks and their impact on daily life and outlook) that stages the patients and maps out a course for healing. This allows for targeted interventions based on the patient’s current stage.
I would recommend using this book in combination with 10 Simple Solutions to Migraines by Dawn Marcus, MD. 10 Simple Solutions will help you learn about your headaches and “Managing Migraines” will teach you how to apply that knowledge.
